| (54) | Internal mix air spray nozzle for spraying fluent materials |
| (57) An internal mix air spray nozzle (90) for spraying fluent materials is comprised
of a unitary one piece body (100) having a fluid material delivery bord extending
therethrough and defining an air and fluid mixing chamber (122), a spray orifice (92)
at the downstream end of the chamber, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced
air orifices (126) inclined in the downstream direction into the chamber for introducing
air into the fluid material and for causing the material to be emitted from the orifice
as an atomized spray. The fluid supply passage, the air supply passages (126), the
spray orifice (92) and the pressures of the air and fluid are correlated to produce
a properly atomized spray of uniform spray density especially well suited for the
spraying of heavily leaden and viscous materials such as stucco and the like. |
